Teaching children the value of money and its importance is crucial. But it doesn’t need to be boring, check out our favorite board games with money you can use with these printable financial literacy worksheets.

Financial literacy worksheets for kids

Learning about money and financial literacy should not be boring.

When children are young, playing shop with their toys was one of our most cherished memories from when my son was younger.

He would spend hours “shopping” and ordering his toys into the correct value.

Download our free shopping math worksheets and add these to this money unit study.

I have broken these money recognition worksheets into preschool, elementary, and middle-aged students so feel free to use what you want.

The download will include all of them, but just print out what you want, and use the rest later.

Price tag worksheet

Teaching children about money should be done as early as possible. Playing shop at home with their toys is the perfect way to do this.

These free money activities for kindergarten are a great way to learn about money and financial responsibility even in the early years.

I highly recommend getting some pretend money and a cash register, but this is optional.

A group of plush toys with attached price tags used for a kids' money learning activity. The toys include a red Deadpool-like character holding a white unicorn plush ($1), a yellow Ewok plush ($2), a green Garfield-style cat (10¢), and a few smaller toys labeled with 10¢, 20¢, and 50¢. The setup teaches basic coin recognition and pricing.

Cut around each of the price tags, add a small hole, and tie some ribbon around each of the price tags.

Give them to the children and let them add them to their toys.

Scroll to the end of the page and download these free price tags.

Identifying money worksheets

As soon as the children start asking questions about money, print out these free homeschool printables and help them identify what the coins and notes are.

Color them in with the correct color, and draw a line from the coin/note to the correct value.

Two printable worksheets titled "Match the Notes" and "Match the Coins" designed to help kids identify and match U.S. currency values.

Learning about money worksheets

I love these free printable counting worksheets. In the first one, you have $1.25 to spend, you need to circle the money that equals and then choose what toys you want to buy.

The second worksheet has different coins and notes in six different jars and the children have to calculate the total amount in each jar. This involves money recognition too.

Two printable money worksheets for kids. The first features a toy market scene where children solve a word problem using coins to "buy" a toy, with space to show their calculations. The second worksheet, titled "Counting Money," displays jars filled with different combinations of coins and bills, asking kids to calculate and write the total amount for each. Real coins are placed below for hands-on practice.

With these 3 worksheets, you need to be able to identify the money and then adding them together.

Counting coins is also a great way to teach math while learning about the importance of financial literacy.

Three printable worksheets designed to help kids practice money math skills. Two pages titled "Add the Money" show combinations of bills and coins with empty boxes for writing values and totals. The third, titled "Add the Coins," displays coin pairs with spaces to calculate and record the sums. Real coins and a pen are placed beside the worksheets for hands-on learning.

This is the hardest money addition worksheet and also includes subtracting money too. There are 10 subtraction and 10 addition questions.

A worksheet titled "Add & Subtract the Money" features 20 problems combining illustrated bills and coins for kids to solve. Each problem asks students to either add or subtract the depicted currency and write the answer in a blank box, using correct dollar or cent symbols. A black pen and green gem counters lie beside the worksheet.

This real-life money worksheet is great for upper elementary grades.

The children need to pretend they are working in a cafe and calculate the cost of each order, and what change to give each customer from $10.

A printable worksheet titled "Lunch Menu" displays six illustrated food and drink items with prices: donut ($2.00), muffin ($2.50), fruit salad ($4.00), coffee ($4.00), juice ($3.50), and sandwich ($5.00). Below is a table with five pre-filled order combinations where students calculate total costs and determine the change from $10. A pen and green plastic gems sit beside the worksheet.

This would be a great role-play game if you have multiple children or are using these in school.

A printable worksheet titled "Shopping List" features two money challenges for kids. The top section asks how many items can be bought with $20, showing images and prices of groceries like milk ($3.00), bread ($3.50), chocolate ($4.50), eggs ($6.00), grapes ($4.20), and more. The bottom section poses the same question with a $15 budget, listing items like oranges ($3.60), peanut butter ($2.90), ketchup ($4.50), bananas ($1.30), and others. Each section includes boxes to tally item quantities and calculate total costs. Green gem decorations are visible at the top right corner.

Learning how to write a check

Writing checks is something that we as adults do fairly regularly, but we must have learned at some point what goes where!

Print out our checks and encourage the kids to practice this really important life skill.

A printable worksheet titled "Writing Checks" includes two practice check templates. The top section prompts the user to fill out a check for $599.99 to Rooms 2 Go for a bed. The bottom section asks for a check to be written for $749.99 to Best Buy for an iPad. Each check includes blank fields for name, date, payee, dollar amount, memo, and signature.
